A Review On Porto City in Portugal
Porto is a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants' houses and cafes. San Francisco Church is known for its lavish baroque interior with ornate gilded carvings. The palatial 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa, formerly a stock market, was built to impress potential European investors.
Porto is one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe right now – and for very good reason. Its stunning Old Town on the picturesque Douro River, complete with six bridges, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Porto is generally a very safe city with a low crime rate. Keep an eye on your valuables on the city's trams and metro, where pickpockets and bag-snatchers occasionally operate, especially in rush-hour crowds, as well as at other tourist hubs such as Rua das Flores and Cais da Ribeira.
Porto is not that expensive. That's why it has been a tourists' favourite in the last few years. Yes, hotels are expensive, and eating out can be costly, but you can always find cheap alternatives.
